Roy double snub

The Fulham chief was contacted by both countries ahead of tonight’s Europa League clash with Roma.[>

[>

However, he has pledged his commitment to the Cottagers – and must now hope chairman Mohamed Al Fayed rewards him. [>

[>

Hodgson’s Fulham contract ends next year, although he’s due for talks over an extended deal.[>

[>

He said: “I was contacted about my availability and on both occasions I had to tell them that, as flattered as I am, I am not available. I intend to honour my contract here.”[>

[>

Hodgson, who has managed both Finland and Switzerland, added: “I enjoyed my spells as an ­international manager and have enjoyed being a club manager, too. Some people get pigeon-holed as one or the other but I have enjoyed both.”[>

[>

Hodgson, 62, spent one of his spells as a club boss with Inter Milan and can now focus on the visit of old Italian rivals Roma. [>

[>

But he must cope without captain Danny Murphy for around a month after he picked up a knee injury against Hull on Monday. Dickson Etuhu, Andy Johnson and Simon Davies will also be missing through injury, with Jonathan Greening set to step into midfield.[>

[>

Ex-Manchester United star Greening said: “This is why I came to Fulham from West Brom – for the challenge.[>

“They have good attacking players and we need to be wary of that.”[>

[>

Former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri is in charge of Roma and will try to send Fulham to their first defeat in Group E.[>

[>

But Hodgson reiterated his view on the competition, adding: “This is the reward you get for having a good season.[>

“We got a place in Europe and we are determined to enjoy this ­experience.”[>
